  Alone and adrift in Barcelona, an unnamed narrator is haunted by the death of her teenage brother, Diego. Diego, the little boy she helped raise in Mexico while their mother struggled to make a living in Spain. Diego, who loved Vampire Weekend and dreamed of becoming a pilot. Diego, who hated Madrid as much as she did.Now, his ashes in hand, she must return to Mexico. Plagued by memories, she recounts their young lives leading up to tragedy in blistering detail: the acute loneliness that accompanied their emigration; the siblings' first separation, when she left for Barcelona to make her own way in the world; her activism against labor abuses, which is threatened by her tumultuous relationship with an entitled lover; and the final, heavyhearted confrontation with her brother. Caught between rage and heartbreak over the loss of Diego, she pieces together a story of alienation, but also of surprising courage and hope.Masterfully translated by Megan McDowell, and shot through with flashes of dark humor, Eating Ashes boldly confronts both the intimate and systemic struggles faced by migrants striving to build a life worth living. Already an international sensation across Europe, this novel cements Brenda Navarro as a breathtakingly unique and vital voice in literature.

  Marrying him was supposed to be business… not pleasure. 
  Liam “Dex” Dexter, the world’s hottest surfer, needs American citizenship to qualify for the Olympics. Britta needs enough cash to leave her small-town life behind and finally open her dream coffee shop in LA. Their plan is simple: get married, fake the happily-ever-after, and go their separate ways once their goals are met. 
  There’s just one tiny problem. 
  Living together — and sharing a bed — makes it impossible to ignore the sparks between them. The more time they spend pretending, the harder it is to remember that this is just a business arrangement. 
  But when their carefully crafted deal threatens to become something real, Britta and Dex will have to decide if their dreams are worth more than the unexpected passion pulling them together. 
  Britta & the Beach Boy is a swoony, slow-burn marriage-of-convenience romantic comedy with laugh-out-loud moments, hot Australian surfers, and just the right amount of heart. While it’s the first book in the Love in LA series, Britta and her family make their debut in the Love in Paradise Valley series. Each book stands alone, but trust me… you’ll want to read them all.

  Media The - A Short Story...

  The Modern Age is one of information overload.  Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone’s head from all directions at all hours of the day and night.  It’s exhausting. 
   
  However, in this volume we go back a little way to when social media was an actual chat on the street corner or a dinner party, when breaking news was tomorrow’s newspaper or something momentous when a TV or radio programme could be interrupted with the outbreak of war or the death of a leader or sovereign. 
   
  In the pens of such luminaries as Henry James, E M Delafield, C E Montague, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and many others we connect with old fashioned media from publishing and advertising to telegrams and radio and everything in between in ways that are surprising, enlightening but always entertaining.

  The Gap in the Curtain by John Buchan is a thought-provoking blend of speculative fiction and social commentary. The story revolves around five men who, through an experiment orchestrated by a visionary scientist, glimpse one year into their future via a newspaper headline. Each man reacts differently to the knowledge: some seek to alter destiny, others succumb to despair, and a few embrace their fate. Buchan explores themes of free will, determinism, and the ethical dilemmas of foresight, while critiquing political and societal trends of his time. As the characters navigate personal ambitions and moral choices, the novel delves into the tension between individual agency and collective responsibility. A compelling mix of philosophy and intrigue, The Gap in the Curtain challenges readers to reflect on how foreknowledge shapes human behavior and the fragile balance between hope and hubris.
